Happy Groundhog Day? What's so happy about it? Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, meaning we'll have six more weeks of winter. But at least Enea broadened its RTOS to a new platform. (How's that for a segue?) In fact, Enea announced yesterday that its OSE software now runs on Cavium Network's Octeon line of multicore processors, which are used by networking equipment OEMs.
Recently, Cavium had expanded the Octeon line with 10 SOCs (system on chips), each containing one or two MIPS64 cores. The Octeon processors are designed for use in a variety of OEM networking equipment, including routers, switches, gateways, storage networking equipment, and servers.
Enea already serves the telecom industry with clients that include Ericsson Radio, Lucent, and Spidcom. So the Cavium deal simply lets Enea play in a broader market—one, I hope, that remains free of groundhogs.

Unless the industry changes, it soon won't have enough developers to write all the code that today's complex devices require, says Enea's VP of product marketing.
To realize and accelerate the full benefits of device software optimization, focus on productivity and innovation at the application level, writes Encirq's vice president of worldwide marketing.
If you're not reusing device software, you're not getting the most from your DSO strategy, says the co-founder and technical director of Proven Software Solutions.
The benefits will include superior integration, security and reliability-plus on-time, under-budget delivery, says the founder and CEO of Green Hills Software.
